NYX Haul + Swatches Part II

I know this entry is long overdue, once again.. It was actually two separate hauls, but since I took forever posting the first one, I figured I might as well just combine them of them and do one BIG haul & swatch post.

 

"EYE LOVE YOU" Giveaway! [CLOSED!]

YES! ❤ It's giveaway time like I promised! It's close to Christmas and my birthday so I wanted to squeeze in one more giveaway before the year of 2011 was over! (◠‿◠) I've gotten so much love on my last entry with my first finished "blinged out" item! You girls have been so sweet and your kind words make me motivated to start many more projects! 

DIY: Blinged Eyelash Case + Upcoming Giveaway!

I absolutely love doing hands on arts and crafts projects and been wanting to bling out cell phone cases to possibly sell or giveaway. I wanted to start small to practice and like I've mentioned in a previous entry, Daiso sells their eyelash cases for only $1.50

Sigma Buffer Brush + My "NAKED" FOTD!

Once again, of you follow me on twitter, you probably already know that I had won 2nd place in Diane's (mykissenmakeup) most recent "Thank You Giveaway"! I was pretty excited to receive and try my first Sigma buffer brush. It was sent to me directly by the company themselves. I was expecting to get a small, tiny little package box because the brush itself is so small, but the box was medium sized and packaged very nicely even with bubble wrap! It brush itself came inside a plastic wrap and then also inside a cute red pouch.  I'm so surprised of how pretty it considered 1.) It was given for free and 2.) It was only a small little kabuki brush.

You can tell from the getco this company is all about quality and excellent presentation to it's customers and potentials. I was also very impressed with how fast their shipping and delivery was! LOVE! ❤

Our Official 2-Year Anniversary!

Wow! I cannot believe it's ONLY been 2 years! I'm always telling him how it feels like we've been together for 50 years already.. Hahaha, but I totally mean that in a good way! We just know wayyy too much about each other, which can be a good or bad thing at times. But nonetheless, I am so blessed to be with such an amazing person. I was NEVER a marriage or "having kids" type of girl.. UNTIL I MET HIM. It's crazy how your whole view on life can change because of one person. 

We took things VERYYY slow in the beginning, but when things started moving along, it moved REALLY fast! :D It's out little joke because when I say slow, I mean SLOWWW. It took us 6 months to officially the "I love you" words! YES, six months!!! We've both felt it from the very beginning, but we definitely were taking things slow. 

Honestly though, it's really not about the speed or length of a relationship. I've never been so sure about anyone my whole life. I trust him with every bone and muscle in my body. Sometimes, you just KNOW things kinds of things about a person. I love that I can give him my whole heart and know it won't be returned broken. People that don't know us can think we are naive or whatnot, but like I said, you don't know us. You haven't been through what we've been through alone OR together. 

My Tattoo - Part II

So, I had this picture in my draft folder because I had recently found it from a photo shoot I did a couple years ago. I'm hoping to get more pieces done in the future! I did a tattoo post a while ago and went into details about what my side piece is and what it means to me. You can read it here! :)

Floral Pattern Nail Art

I'm no fancy-shmancy nail artist, but I think these are cute! I absolutely ADORE floral print patterns. The wonders of what you can do with a toothpick and/or thin paint brush! I've been looking for the perfect light creamy green, and so happy I came across it at Walmart the other day ツ! Then a spotted a few other creamy pastel colors and decided to get them all. The other colors won't be featured in this post, but will once I use them. ♥

Godson's 2nd Birthday and TEAM PACMAN!

Happy Birthday, Kyan-Pepper!

Yesterday, we celebrated the 2nd birthday of my adorable godson, Kyan! I'm so terrible, I missed his 1st birthday last year due to work, but so happy I was there for him and his mom this year. His mama (Becca) and I have been best friends for 15 years! Can you believe that?! I was one of the two people in the delivery room with her and watched as Kyan entered into this world! I cried when I first laid eyes on him. He looks exactly the same as the day he was born. 

HauteLook order finally arrived and current online sales codes!

I got this whole lot for ONLY $30!

Winnings from Cydangie's Halloween Giveaway!

So, I know I'm a bit late at finally making this post. Been so busy and tired and been spending some QT with the lover boy once I get off from work. This huge belly of mine is NOT making things easy! LOL- 

EcoTools Brushes Review & Goodies from Korea!

Winner of my "Thank You" giveaway!

I finally get to announce my winner!

There were over 200 individual entries and 882 total entries! Unfortunately, the first number I generated was from a person that did not follow the the #1 rule, so they were disqualified. Therefore, I needed to select another winner. I took a screenshot of the number generator from random.org and another screenshot of the winner organized from my Microsoft Excel. 

*Drumroll, please...*

The winner of my first 

"Thank You" giveaway is #26!

Congrats, Lisa! 

I will be emailing you shortly! Please respond within 48 hours.

Don't worry if you didn't win, because the success of this giveaway and how much I love the feeling of giving, I will definitely be hosting more giveaways very soon! I have some ideas in mind for another big giveaway and a few smaller ones. :) In the future, I'll be using Rafflecopter.com and hopefully that will make things easier and faster! 

Thank you so much to those who have participated, help spread the word, and left such sweet comments! I really do appreciate that you all took time out of your day to enter. 

And also to the ones that might be bitter about not winning and will probably un-follow me.. You should never feel like you're OWED anything unless you actually deserve and worked for it. Giveaways in general are usually open to everyone. EVERYONE has just a good of chance at winning as you do. If you do happen to un-follow, good riddance! I'd rather give these prizes out to someone that actually supports and understand there's always next time. 

Good luck to all future giveaway contestants! ^____^ 

My first Giveaway! [ CLOSED ]

UPDATE:

This giveaway is now CLOSED!

Thank you so much to all those that have participated! I wasn't even expecting 30 individual entries, let alone over 200! I will need to sort and enter each single entry with however many extra entries they have later on tonight. I'll take a screenshot and announce the winner tomorrow using random.org! I am VERY excited to see who wins and cannot wait to ship it out ASAP! :) 

Please don't get upset if you don't win.. A giveaway is for fun and to show appreciation, you should never get upset over something you didn't work hard and earn yourself. I've actually seen quite a few hate comments on other giveaways because people didn't win. That's so unnecessary! There are plenty of other giveaways going on. And because of the success of this one, I will be having another big one and a few little ones coming up very soon! So stay tuned! :) Good luck, everyone! 

I've been telling you girls that once I reach 100 blogger buddies aka "followers", I will be doing a little appreciation giveaway! Of course, I included that Hello Kitty makeup bag that you ladies have voted was the cutest ! :) I know a lot of you girls are HUGE HK fans like me, so I hope you like these prizes!

This is just a thank you to you girls that have been so sweet and supportive with whatever my posts may be. I blog about everything and anything, whatever my heart desires. I'm so flattered and honored that you girls actually READ my entries. You girls make me excited to come on here, blog, and read YOUR blogs! I know 100 isn't a lot to some people, but it sure is a lot to me! :)

The WINNER will get:

Hello Kitty Makeup Bag

Just a small little bag to put in your essential makeup needs and throw into your purse. :) I loveeee this! Yours still has the tag on it, don't worry! It hasn't been used. :D

Hello Kitty Crystal

Stone Quartz Wristwatch

I absolutely ADORE this watch!!! It's so freaking cute! The white band reminds me of the ever-so-popular Marc Jacobs wristwatches. You looks amazing on and I guarantee you'll get tons of compliments, I certainly do!

Hello Kitty Spa Head Wrap

I spotted this at Target and got twos! Keep your hair out of your face while you wash or apply makeup! It's a big snug, so when you open it, I would stretch it out a bit.

11 Pairs of False Eyelashes

You'll get 10 pairs in one box (Click to see what these look like on!) and another single pair. I love that the single pair of eyelashes look like a more dramatic version of the Dolly Wink "Dolly Sweet" #1 Eyelashes!

"Plump Lips" by Freeze 24.7

Lip Plumper (Clear)

I pictured my pink plumper gloss in here to show you what it looks like, but you'll get yours in "clear". I love how peppermint-y if feels like on your lips. I don't think it does a great job at plumping, but my lips certainly feel tingly and fresh!

Winmax Diamond Nail Polish (#6 & #1)

I have yet to actually try these yet, but I thought the colors were too cute to pass up! Whoever wins these, let me know how they turn out!

Makeup Corrector (My favorite!)

I love this makeup corrector! This is definitely one of my Daiso faves! Sometimes you make a little makeup boo boo and it's hard to wipe away without irritating your skin. This works wonders! I like to keep it in my purse so if I end up with raccoon eyes, I could use one swipe of this (with a little tissue dab) & it's gone without ANY redness! :) Yay! No more raccoon eyes!
